Vic’s picks against the spread Week 11

We got so excited about our Jets pick over the Steelers last week that we forgot to really study the rest of the games. Though … back in the days when we used to really pore over some of the numbers, we had more losing weeks than winning ones. Trusting the wings-enhanced gut to bounce back from a 6-6 week:
Bills at Dolphins (-4.5) — I like quarterback sacks and I like getting points. BILLS
49ers (-4.5) at Giants – This one seems pretty easy for Jim Harbaugh: Run Gore and Hyde a lot against soft N.Y. defense. But for some reason I picture Kaepernick winging it off his back foot. GIANTS
Raiders at Chargers (-10.5) – Coach Tony Sparano gave Oakland a couple of days off, but that’s not enough to clear their heads for a now-healthy San Diego team. CHARGERS
Texans at Browns (-3.5) – Cleveland surprised the heck out of us last week, but we’re going with Foster and Watt. Not buying Browns’ run game. TEXANS
Vikings at Bears (-3.5) – Really want to take Chicago off an embarrassing loss. Can’t do it. Bears more Build-A than Grizzly. Minnesota underrated. VIKINGS.
Seahawks at Chiefs (-2) – Seattle may be looking ahead to matchups with Arizona and San Francisco. Alex Smith could easily outplay Russell Wilson. CHIEFS
Falcons at Panthers (-1) – Ugh. Carolina looked terrible Monday night. But that’s a terrible spread. Atlanta not very good, especially on road. PANTHERS
Bengals at Saints (-7.5) – Something is wrong with Drew Brees. Something is wrong with me too because I am going against N.O. at home with Andy Dalton. BENGALS
Bucs at Redskins (-7.5) – Josh McCown and Marc Trestman probably drive around at night, thousands of miles apart, playing “Careless Whisper” on the radio. McCown dedicates this cover to him. BUCS
Broncos (-10) at Rams – Can Denver bounce back emotionally from a tough first quarter against the Raiders? I think so. Big number but Broncos defense helps out. BRONCOS
Eagles at Packers (-6.5) – If Mark Sanchez keeps playing well in Philly wins, I am going to be wrong a lot. Green Bay uses a big mirror on defense and Sanchez makes some mistakes. PACKERS
Lions at Cardinals (-1) – Bruce Arians is a great coach. But I don’t think he can overcome the double whammy of the loss of Carson Palmer while Detroit turns a now-healthy Calvin Johnson loose. LIONS
Patriots at Colts (-2.5) – Remember how much fun it was earlier in the season when we were riding Andrew Luck and the Colts for a month? Jump back on. COLTS
Steelers (-6.5) at Titans – Everyone and their grandma lost on Pittsburgh last week and they’re back for more, as this line is moving up and up … And Tennessee does stink … Do we dare? Again? TITANS
Record – 80-66 after last week
